That man is balding so gracefully I can't help but think paying his dating agency will be money well spent.

I was thinking they ought to do something like this for otaku elsewhere, but then I saw the price Shocked

I wonder what constitutes proof of being single?

Men are expected to have a stable job.


So...a service designed to match otaku with women specifically disqualifies NEETs? Yeah, I don't see this working out.

^Well they aren't signing up to be some guy's surrogate mom (well one that has an...oddly intimate relationship with their son).

Another massive flaw in the system, as far as I'm concerned. Wink

They didn't say they were a service for NEETs, but rather for Otaku. There are plenty of Otaku who aren't NEETs, otherwise the anime industry in Japan would be dead.

^That was my first thought but single people aren't the only ones who look at porn from what I understand, or is there something else in one's browser history that might indicate singleness? Plus who wants to show someone their browser history even if they are sworn to secrecy?
